I wanted to make sure I had control over all the elements, and it was really important to me to envision a sound that would sound great on large speakers in the large crowds that Illenium brings out to all of his events. Not to mention… a brand new verse by yours truly!”

Everything I’ve learned to this point I’m using to create the pieces of work I’m making now and I absolutely love what is being done in the studio. Can’t wait to show the world!” Additionally, Sickick’s “Mind Games,” his second most played song on Spotify, has garnered over 66 million views.

Instagram reels and 15k TikToks, while simultaneously amassing over four million streams within a mere four days of its release. Sickick says his love for music has only grown over time, “I’ve been making music since I was for 4 and got my first keyboard so I don’t even remember a life where melodies weren’t flooding my head constantly. But I can say now through really taking this art seriously and opening myself up to the world of music as a maturing artist, I have a new level of compassion that I’ve developed.”
